Supermoon: The Cause for Natural Disasters?
BY BARBARA MANINGAT
Devastation in Japan is making headlines around the world as the country recovers from the 8.9 magnitude earthquake that sent a tsunami crashing over the mainland. Some say it's a tragic natural disaster, but some are wondering -- Is the moon to blame? (Video from ABC)
On March 19th, the moon's orbit will be 221-thousand miles from Earth -- the closest it's been in 19 years.
It's called the supermoon, a term coined by Richard Nolle for when the moon's orbit is nearest Earth - and the sun, moon and earth are all in alignment. That means the gravitational pulls of the moon and the sun combine to cause higher tides. (Video from Perigee-Syzygy)
This kind of alignment only happens every 10 to 20 years -- so when it does, KGTV says we notice.
"There is a precedent. The deadly tsunami in Indonesia happened two weeks before the 2005 supermoon ... Still and cyclone Tracy laid waste to supermoon year of 1974. There were also extreme weather events in the supermoon years of 1955 and 1992. ... However, most astronomers say this is just coincidence."
Talk of the supermoonbegan weeks before the earthquake hit Japan and one AccuWeather blogger says he didn't believe it. But now, he's been convinced.
"I believe that the Earth may have already felt some of the supermoon's effects. It could be a huge coincidence that this earthquake was not influenced by the supermoon. But in my totally unscientific opinion, having no hard evidence to back it up, it doesn't seem like just coincidence to me."
A blogger for Discover says -- there's no way the moon caused the earthquake in Japan.
"When the earthquake in Japan hit... the moon was about 240,000 miles away. So not only was it not at its closest point, it was actually farther away than it usually is on average. The earthquake in Japan - and other natural disasters likely to happen ... are terrible tragedies. We're not making it any better by panicking over something we know isn't real."
Most astronomers say any gravitational effects typically happen within three days of the supermoon, but Nolle tells ABC Melbourne, the time span can be longer.
NOLLE: "...[W]e don't have to have one at the maximum close approach to have a notable affect. For example, the February 18th supermoon just passed. That one was in effect for various reasons from the twelfth of February through the twenty-first and, of course, we had the awful Christchurch earthquake on the twenty-first."
A TG Daily blogger still doesn't buy into the moon phenomenon and says the special supermoon alignment will only make for a great photo.
"Indeed, because it's a full moon, the sun and moon are actually pulling on the earth from opposite directions, weakening rather than strengthening tides. So just sit back and appreciate the view."
With March 19 fast-approaching, is more destruction to come? Or, will the supermoon just make for an interesting picture?

Supermoon：对于自然灾害的原因？
由Barbara MANINGAT
日本的破坏是让世界各地的头条新闻是从全国的8.9级地震发出海啸对大陆崩溃恢复。有人说这是一个悲惨的自然灾害，但也有一些疑惑 - 是月亮惹的祸？ （视频从ABC）
3月19日，月球的轨道将是从地球221万英里 - 它在19年的亲密。
它被称为supermoon，创造了由理查德中止时，月亮的轨道是距地球最近的一个名词 - 和太阳，月亮和地球都在直线位置。这意味着，引力拉的月亮和太阳结合在一起，导致更高的浪潮。 （视频由近地点，定朔）
这种独一无二的路线发生每10至20年 - 因此当它，KGTV说，我们的通知。
“有一个先例。致命的海啸在印尼发生过2005年supermoon两个星期...静物和特雷西飓风奠定浪费supermoon 1974年。也有在1955年和1992年supermoon年极端天气事件。.. 。然而，大多数天文学家认为这只是巧合。“
在地震前几个星期的supermoonbegan谈袭击日本和一个机构AccuWeather博客说，他不相信。但现在，他已经说服了。
“我相信，地球可能已经感觉到了supermoon的一些影响。这可能是一个巨大的巧合，这次地震是不是由supermoon影响。但我完全不科学的意见，有没有确凿的证据来支持它，这不是'吨似乎只是巧合给我。“
一个精采博客说 - 有没有办法在日本的月亮引起的地震。
“当在日本地震灾区...月球是约24英里远，所以不仅没有在其最近点它，它实际上是远超过通常平均是日本地震 - 。。和其他自然灾害可能发生...都是可怕的悲剧。我们没有把它比任何恐慌，更是我们所知道的东西不是真实的。“
大多数天文学家说任何引力效应通常发生在三个supermoon天，但中止告诉美国广播公司墨尔本，时间跨度可能会更长。
中止："...[我们]有没有在最大密切的办法之一，有一个显着的影响，例如，在刚刚过去的2月18日supermoon这实际上是一个从第十二届种种原因。。通过二十一至二月，当然，我们对二十一基督城可怕的地震。“
一个台妹日报博客仍然没有购买到月球的特殊现象，并表示只会使supermoon路线为一个伟大的照片。
“事实上，因为它是一个完整的月球，太阳和月亮是地球上实际拉动从相反的方向，削弱而不是加强潮汐。只要坐下来欣赏风景。”
随着3月19日快临近，更多的是毁灭来吗？或者，会supermoon只是当做一个有趣的图片？
